Alongside your audit work you'll study towards a valuable professional accounting qualification setting you up with the skills and accreditations for a successful career that could lead you to many different pathways and opportunities. As an apprentice you'll play an important part in supporting the continuous improvement of audit quality, working with new technologies like AI and predictive analytics to analyse data and produce great work.

You'll work on challenging projects alongside a supportive team allowing you to grow professionally and handle each new audit engagement with confidence.

We trust our people to be where they need to be, with our colleagues working together in person as often as needed. Travel is likely for audit and because the work is seasonal, you should expect there to be busy times of the year.
